Okay, so some people said to continue this story so I am! I would like some more readers and reviews. I am at least happy that SOME people are reading this. Well, here it is…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm sorry, Darlin', I couldn't hear you over that robe." I said, looking at Tawni. She wore a very, VERY puffy, pink robe. She stared at me. "Hey, Madge is fun to play."
She chuckled. "Whatever." She smiled a small smile and sat down on her vanity chair. "Can you go for a fro-yo run?"
"What do I look like, a waitress?" I asked. I looked at my clothes. "Oh, right."
"Hey, everybody! New Girl's going on a fro-yo run!" Tawni called out.
Nico and Grady popped into the room.
"Frozen yogurt?" Grady smiled.
"I'll have something nondairy and pink." Tawni told me, putting blush on her cheeks.
"Ooh! I'll take strawberry!" Zora called from the vent.
"Cookies and crème." Grady sat down on the couch.
"Peanut butter," Nico sat next to Grady. "And if they don't have peanut butter, grab me a burrito."
"I'm in for a burrito too." Grady added.
"Oh, uh," Zora opened the vent. "I need 12 AA batteries." She smiled and nodded slightly.
"Ok, now let me see if I got this." I joked, playing Madge. "one non-moo pinky, one creamy cook/rito, one straw/AA, and one pea-b/rito."
"See? You ARE a waitress. And instead of yogurt, I would actually like-"
"No substitutions." I interrupted Tawni, smiling, joking. I left the room to get the order. I had taken off my bee-hive wig a while ago.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Excuse me, miss, when you're done with that order, I would like an extra large chocolate." A male voice said behind me.
I had put my cast-mates' orders on a tray. All I needed to get were the burritos and batteries. "Sorry, I don't work here." I lifted the tray and turned to leave but almost bumped into the guy who mistook me for a lunch lady: Chad Dylan Cooper. I gasped lightly. "you're…You're…" I couldn't say it. Why couldn't I say it?
He walked over to a poster of himself looking into the distance, labeled 'Mackenzie Falls.' "Him?" He pointed to the poster and to him face.
I nodded. "Yeah…" I felt stupid. He must have fan girls constantly do that.
"And apparently you're Madge." He walked up to me, acting nice. I could tell by his eyes- his cerulean blue eyes- he did not enjoy acting nice to a supposed fan girl. To be honest, I wasn't really a fan.
I was confused for a second and then remembered I was still wearing my costume. "Oh…no, I'm not. That belongs to my character; the name. And all of this," I motioned to my costume fat. "Belongs to Madge too. My name is Sonny." I held my hand out to shake his but he went to write something on his papers that he was holding.
"Sonny- that's a nice name." He commented. Uh-oh. Something smelled fishy, and I think it was Chad Dylan Cooper.
"Thanks…?" I took the compliment with caution.
"Here," He handed me the paper; an autographed picture of himself. The message said 'Sonny, thanks for the yogurt, love Chad Dylan Cooper.'
After I read it, I raised an eyebrow and went to pick up the tray of yogurt…to find that he stole it. I glared at where he had been.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked into the prop room with the new set of yogurt, burritos, and batteries. Nico and Grady were playing slap hands Extreme. Tawni was applying new make-up and Zora…was hiding, maybe?
As I came in, they all rushed over to get their desserts.
"Um, I didn't order sprinkles." Tawni told me.''
"Oh, yeah. Well, those aren't sprinkles, I dropped yours in the parking lot." I grimaced, trying not to laugh.
Nico and Grady dug into their food. "It's cold." Nico held up his burrito.
"And melted." Grady looked at his fro-yo.
"These are AAA." Zora complained.
"Sorry, they were out of AA. And, also, I had to walk all the way here because I parked so far away from the building." I set the tray down and stepped behind the changing curtain. (It's an extra place to change) I stepped out when they all gasped.
"You moved the golf cart?" Tawni questioned, shocked and angry.
I had changed quickly and was setting down my costume as I responded. "Yeah, the golf cart was right out front so-"
"Say it isn't so!" Zora almost screamed.
"Sonny, we haven't moved that golf cart in two years. It wasn't supposed to be moved. Otherwise, Mackenzie Falls will take it." Tawni set down her frozen yogurt.
"Really…Mackenzie Falls." I gulped.
"Yes. Oh my goodness…Did they take it?" Nico ran out of the room to a window and we all followed. "Oh man! They did!" He whined.
There in our old parking space, were the actors from Mackenzie Falls with Chad Dylan Cooper sitting in the seat and holding up the yogurt, smiling at us- taunting us. I held up his autographed picture, showing him his face, and ripped it in half and in half of the other halves. (A/N: like, she ripped it in half and ripped those pieces in half each) His smile wavered but he shrugged and ate the yogurt.
I shook my head. "By the way, HE'S the reason I took so long. He stole the yogurt and made me get some more and then he moved the cart."
"Which 'he' are you referring to?" Grady asked.
"Chad Dylan Cooper." I told them. They all gasped. I shrugged. "You asked. And what's the big deal, it's just a parking space."
We walked back to the prop room.
"Sonny, this isn't about just a parking space. This is about Mackenzie Falls thinking they're so much better than us because they're real actors on a drama and we're funny people." He quoted real actors and funny people.
"They think they're all that because they have perfect skin, great clothes, and windswept hair." Nico added.
"Yeah, I have all those things and even they look down on me." Tawni said with a hair flip.
"Really? Perfect skin? Well, um, you got a zit on your jaw." I pointed out, gently of course.
Tawni covered her chin with her hand. "Thanks for the warning…" She mumbled, opening her concealer.
"It can't be as bad as you say…" I told them.
"Tell her, Nico." Zora looked at him.
"It was two years ago; Mackenzie Falls won an award and he totally trash talked us!" Nico exploded.
"Oh, yeah…I saw that." I remembered. "Yeah, that was harsh."
"Yepp. And to get back at them, we stole their Tween Choice Award and use it as a toilet paper holder." Tawni laughed.
"Okay, look, I know I'm the new girl but…isn't it time to stop fighting? You know, make peace?" I crossed my arms.
Nico and Grady scoffed.
"Look, back in Wisconsin, my school was rivaled with another school. They always thought they were better than us because they had a tougher football team. There was pranks and fights- it wasn't pretty- so I organized a…Peace Picnic, they called it. Why not have one for you guys?" I sat down on the arm of the couch.
"Well, one reason why is because we hate them and they hate us. There will never be peace between us. Reason number two; did it work?" Grady leaned against the counter.
"Well, I hated the rival school and they hated us but then after the picnic, we all had fun and we all made up. So, yes, it did work. Please, just let me try to work all this out?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We had a big table in the middle of our cafeteria and we were able to rent it out. I put down a plate of egg salad onto the table.
"I have a feeling we'll all make peace." I told them with a smile. The cast of So Random! just stood around, staring at me, bored. "Grady, please place the peace offering onto the podium of Peace." He set the award onto the podium with the toilet paper still on it. "Remove the toilet paper." He did. "They'll be here soon so take a seat, and let the peace picnic begin."
I sat down at the head of the table and everyone sat on one side of the table. The side of the table near me broke down and the egg salad flew toward me. I kicked off the ground and sort of jumped behind the chair, the chair following; sabotage. Someone glued the seat of the chair and now I was stuck. Well, at least it acted as a barrier against the egg salad. I pushed off the ground against and sat normally in my seat. I took a deep breath and saw that my cast mates trying to get out of their seats.
"You're all glued, as am I." I told them, tight-lipped, angry.
"Mackenzie Falls did this!" Zora exclaimed.
"Hop to the statue!" I told them. We started to hobble over to grab the statue but Chad ran in, grabbing it before us.
"Peace out, suckas!" He yelled, laughing, before leaving the room.
They all glared at me and I glared at nothing in particular, basically at myself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, everyone, hope you're not still mad at me." I said, walking into the prop room where Nico and Grady were seated on the couch and Zora next to a catapult holding meat. She flung it at me and I stepped to the side, letting it fall to the floor. I looked at the TV screen/ computer monitor and saw Grady standing up with the butt of his pants ripped off. After the peace picnic, Grady had gotten off the chair but his pants, unfortunately, stayed. A Mackenzie Falls actor came in with a camera and took a picture. "Is that…Grady's butt?"
"Yeah, thanks to you, everybody with a computer can see this." Nico glared at me.
I set down the basket of muffins I had been holding. Zora let loose another piece of meat and this one hit the side of my head.
"I deserved that." I allowed.
Tawni walked out of the photo booth. "Guys, hasn't she suffered enough?" No one responded. "Yeah, I didn't think so either. Told ya it wouldn't work." She gloated. "Check this out." She clicked the keyboard and a video of me flipping on my chair was shown, over and over again, looking like I just randomly slipped backward, falling.
"Is…Is that me?" I sat down on the corner of the coffee table. I stood up immediately, angry. "That's it! I'm going over to Mackenzie Falls and not coming back-"
"Yay!" Tawni hurrahed.
"Without our things." I finished. She pouted and sat down on a chair. I left the room.
-----------------------sexy lines, that what these are--------------------------------------------------
"Look, Portlyn, summer's almost over. And, once fall comes back to the Falls, I need to be free." I heard Chad say. Then he shushed. "The time for talking's over."
I walked onto the set, standing right behind him. "What's the matter with you?!" I exclaimed, furious.
"What's the matter with me?! What's the matter with- those words didn't come out of your mouth…" Chad realized a little too late. I crossed my arms.
"CUT!" The director called.
Chad turned to me. "We're sort of in the middle of a shoot here."
"Yeah and I'm furious and wanting to scream so this break came at a good time. Portlyn, you've got great legs, let's see them walk." I smiled tightly at her. She walked away.
"Hey, stay sad, sweetie." Chad called after her. They started moving things off the set. Chad turned to me. "What is your problem."
"My problem? My problem- what's your problem?! We were trying to make peace! Everything my friends- and Tawni- said about you were true! I thought you could be a good guy but I was wrong. You're just a jerk. All of the Mackenzie Falls people are jerks-"
"Hey!" Tony, the director called. He overheard.
I licked my lips, agitated. "I'm talking about the actors!" I started to continue with what I was saying. "Out of all of the Mackenzie Falls people, you are the biggest jerk here. Hell, in the universe!"
He chuckled a bit. "You saw the video and picture. I also direct."
"Like I was saying, we were just trying to make peace."
He scoffed. "Please, you're trying to trap us."
"You spend way too much time in Mackenzie Falls world. Not everything is about ruining people or tricking or trapping them. Forget battles and wars and you have peaceful people. It only takes one side to start a battle. But it takes both sides to make peace. We were the starting side of a peace-freaking-treaty! Sometimes some people do something just to be nice."
"Do they, Sonny, do they really?" Around me, the set was changed to make a scene look romantic and sweet; dim lights, full moon, plants. Definition: uh-oh. Second definition: shit! "Look, it was sweet of you to put that picnic together." He put his hand on my arm, and I felt like slapping him. I also felt a little strange but I couldn't pinpoint the emotion or feeling. All I knew what the Chad Dylan Cooper was trying to trick me. "It was way sweet. But the bad blood between our two shows has run too long and is too deep to be healed by a picnic. Even with the best of intentions." He took my hand in his. "Just because you wish for something," I kept staring at him, keeping in my laughter, making him believe he was winning. He's good at acting…but so am I. "doesn't make it so."
I huffed, bored. "Chad-"
"Shh." He put his finger to my lips and I froze, eyes narrowing slightly. "The time for talking's over." Gee, where have I heard THAT before? Oh, yeah! Two seconds ago. He started backing away. "I must go. So, run. Run back to your show. Put your sweet little dreams of peace to bed." He walked away.
I started to run after him, still angry, but I was grabbed by security guards and brought off the studio. I huffed again as they shut the doors on me. I turned and saw the golf cart. I whipped out my cell phone, dialing Nico's number.
"Hello?" His voice rang.
"Nico, I need you to grab the golf cart." I told him, walking over Mackenzie Falls' cart.
"You got the space?" He was shocked.
No, but I AM going to get it. I just need Zora and Grady to keep watch and you to bring the cart. Hurry up." I shut my phone and got into the cart.
I pulled out my pocket knife and pulled out a thin blade. I stuck it in the ignition and turned it. The cart turned on. I pumped my fist in the air as Nico drove up with Grady and Zora. They stood watch as I pulled the cart out of the space and Nico put ours where it belongs. I parked the car in the parking lot, away from the set. I ran back, panting as I arrived.
"Why didn't we think of that?" Grady asked Nico.
"Because you didn't have a thin enough blade to fit into the ignition?" I provided. "I'm gonna call a friend of a friend and have him put in a thumbprint scanner so only we can move this. The brakes will stay locked when we turn it off so if the Falls try to move it, it won't budge." I dialed a number and a friend of a friend answered. I instructed him on what to do and hung up. "He'll be here soon."
"But we still want them to see that we're better- if not equal- than them." Nico pointed out.
We walked into the prop room. "Why not challenge them to something?"
"Like what, musical chairs?" Grady joked.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You're challenging us to musical chairs? That game is for four to seven year olds." Chad scoffed as he had make-up artists fixing his hair and face.
"Great! Then you'll have no problem." I smirked.
"Look, I don't know how much free time you have down in 'Chuckle City' but, here at the Falls, we have some serious acting to do." He waved his hand at me as he got up and grabbed a water.
"oh my God, you ARE a drama-snob. You really think you're better than us?" I crossed my arms.
"Not better- just different…in a better way." He thought over what to say. "We act." He started to walk away.
"Oh, I get it. You're afraid that we'll beat you- that we're better at something than you guys."
"I'm not afraid of anything."
"Except musical chairs."
"Especially musical chairs."
"Fine then. We win, we get our parking space back-"
"You already moved our cart!" He interjected.
I smiled. "Yeah, but now you guys won't be able to take the spot, if we win, we also get your table, and you have to buy us a new paper toilet roller." I crossed my arms again.
"No, we're not doing that."
I made clucking noises. "Oh, well, then I guess you're chicken." I clucked some more. (GOBBLE, GOBBLE! Sorry, but if you're reading this and you go to my school and are in my grade, you'd understand. Lol!)
"Ok, stop that!" Chad commanded. I stopped, hoping he'd give in. "You're acting like a fool."
"Actually, I'm acting like you because you're a chicken." I waved my arms like wings and clucked a lot more and a little louder.
He started to freak, I could tell. "Look, cut it out!" I clucked more. "Stop it, people are starting to stare."
"Let them. I'll do this ALL day." I clucked more.
"Okay, you know what? Fine, we'll do it." I smiled as he gave in. "But when we win, you have to go on your show and say that Mackenzie Falls is better than SO Random!"
"Fine, but when So Random! wins, you have to say something nice about us."
"No, no, you already said your terms, you don't get to keep adding." He acted like he was talking to a little kid. I started balking again. "No, no, you can't use my terms. Alright, fine!" I got him pissed; he looked hilarious!
"Fine, see you at noon." I smiled triumphantly.
"Yes, you will." He all but growled.
We stared at each other for a second, then:
"You smell like ham." He criticized.
"I've seen your acting so that makes two of us." I walked off his set as his jaw dropped.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I can't believe we're playing musical chairs." Grady chuckled nervously. We had just set up the chairs.
"Grady, you said we were good at this." I reminded him.
"No, I said we could do this but never said that we were good."
"You couldn't have made the distinction earlier?!"
The Falls cast walked in.
"Well, if it isn't Chad Dylan Pooper!" Grady ground out, ready to charge him.
I pulled out a small candy bar from my pocket. "Here, Grady. If you kill this somehow, you won't be charged for a felony."
Grady threw the candy on the ground and stepped on it numerous times. I admit, it looked weird but it was funny none the less.
"Okay, let's just get this over with," Chad said, walking in, drama drones following. "I have to get my teeth bleached in 20 minutes."
"Right, so you can get rid of the nasty yellow color." I smirked. Nico high fived me.
Tawni trotted in. "Did we win? Did we lose? Is it over? Can I leave?"
"We haven't started yet, Tawni." I told her. "And we need you so you're staying."
The music started and we all started walking around the chairs. Tawni, the other direction. It stopped and Tawni didn't get a seat.
"Oh no, I lost. Tootles." She walked away.
--------
A little later, Nico gave his seat to Portlyn because she smiled at him.
-------------
After that, Grady was out because he "forgot to sit!"
-------------------------
It was down to me, Zora, Chad, and Portlyn. Right when we sat down, Tawni used the meat catapult and hit Portlyn in the face, distracting her as we all sat down.
---------------------------------
Last, it just Chad and me.
"Looks like it's just you, me, and something else you're not gonna get." Chad taunted.
"You know, you're really confident for someone who's going to lose." I told him snidely.
He fake-laughed. "At least I can act."
"Can you, Chad, can you really?" I copied, smirking as his went away.
My foot hit the chair leg and bent the wrong way, causing me to fall. There was a loud, sickening crack. "Ow! My ankle! Something snapped!" I cried as my team 'noo'ed. A couple tears fell out of my eyes.
"Oh…man. That looks really serious." Chad hesitated in sitting down, getting back up and walking toward me. I kept my hand on my ankle. "We better get you to a doctor. Here," He held his hand out to me. "Take my hand."
I looked up at him. "Thanks." I grabbed his hand lightly and then squeezed it, pulling him down to the floor and bringing me up, running to the seat and sitting down. I held up two fingers on each hand- the peace sign-, smiling. "Peace out, suckas!" I mimicked. My cast mates cheered and ran over to me.
Tawni hugged me very quickly.
"You tricked me!" Chad accused form the floor.
"Nope, I was acting!" I wiped my fake tears away.
"But there was a crack." He stood up.
"You mean this crack?" I rolled my wrist and my wrist bones slid around, making cracking noises. (That actually happens with me. I'm double jointed and something's wrong with my wrists, making that happen)
Chad smirked. "Not bad, Monroe. Perhaps there's a spot for you on Mackenzie Falls." He glanced at Portlyn. "When Portlyn's character disappears in a freak balloon accident."
She ran out the room "crying"- that little faker.
"Thanks, but my home is in Chuckle City on a show called So Random! so I don't think I'm going anywhere, Chad Dylan Cooper."
My cast mates gasped.
"Seriously?! C'mon, really?" I made a face at them, basically saying' get over it, you'll hear his name a lot.'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We were sitting in the prop room, eating frozen yogurt.
"We now return to Mackenzie Falls." The TV reported.
"Look, Portlyn, summer is almost over and once fall comes back to the Falls, I need to be free. And you have a balloon to catch." Chad (Mackenzie) said.
Portlyn was going to talk but Chad (Mackenzie) shushed her.
"The time for talking is over because," he paused and looked at the camera. "So Random!'s on. It's my favorite show."
"YES!" We all exclaimed. We all clinked our cups together in celebration.
Okay, little author note here. How many of you found it ironic that Sterling Knight and Zac Efron starred in the same movie? They were both in 17 Again. Sterling's character- Chad- hates Zac Efron and his 17 Again character is the child to Zac Efron's older character. LOL! I just found that sort of funny. Hope you liked this chapter. Wasn't really all that different from the real episode but they get different later and later.
